Day 13...

Today is Consulate day!!!!  This is the day we make an oath to love, protect, and always treat Jeter as our child.  That is an easy oath to make because he IS our child.  I seriously cannot even imagine life without him.  I feel so blessed that God chose me to be his Mommy!

They did not allow electronics or cameras inside so our guide took a couple pictures before we went in.


 They had a little play area for the kids, which helped tremendously!  The whole process was pretty quick (we were there with 4 other families) and we were done in about an hour.  

After that we were able to apply for his Visa! The group that went through on Wednesday had a scare that Visas were going to be delayed. Thankfully it worked out and they did end up getting them on time, super important with travel arrangements!  They assured us that this issue had been corrected. So we left optimistic and headed to a pharmacy to get some baby Tylenol and Benadryl. Pharmacies here are super weird and we were not able to find what we needed with our guide.  I can't believe I forgot those very important things!

We stopped by our hotel to change into cooler clothes and this happened.  Poor guy gets so overwhelmed and sometimes screaming into the carpet helps.  Thankfully, he calmed down as soon as I put him in the Boba.  He really does love that thing!
 We walked to lunch at an Irish Pub that was highly recommended. Lunch was good, but Jeter was crazy!  He was getting tired and honestly just hates to not be moving.  We had the room to ourselves so we just kinda let him run to avoid the meltdown!  ;)
 Food makes us all happy, happy, happy though!
 In China, they teach the kids to do "V" for victory for pictures...so we joined in with Jeter because he does it all the time in pictures!
 Once our bellies were full we walked back to the hotel.  We found another pharmacy and were able to get baby tylenol!  Yay!  Hopefully that will help with his ears.  Jeter ended up falling asleep again on the way back, so we stopped for a fruit tea.  I had been wanting to try one because they looked so refreshing!  Well, they were pretty gross.  I was sad, but then Jeter stayed asleep and I was able to lay down too so that made me happy!  ;)


 Jeter woke up refreshed and ready to go...so to the playroom we went!



 The playing continued in the room...
 Then little man took a real bath all by himself!  He has come so far in such a short amount of time!
We have one more day and then we will hopefully start our journey home!
